I work primarily with adolescents and young adults facing complex emotional and behavioral challenges, often with overlapping concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and mood dysregulation. Many come after struggling to find clarity or consistency in prior care. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. Through careful assessment, structured treatment planning, and collaboration with families, I help bring clarity to patterns over time and create a steady path forward focused on stability, resilience, and long-term functioning.
I specialize in adolescent psychiatry and complex co-occurring conditions, including autism. I offer comprehensive evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and collaborative care. Treatment is grounded in clinical experience, consistency, and practical, individualized planning.
It can be difficult to know where to turn when things feel uncertain or overwhelming. You do not have to navigate it alone. A steady, thoughtful approach can make a meaningful difference over time. If you are looking for clarity, structure, and a provider who takes the time to understand the full picture, reaching out is a reasonable next step.

In my practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is frequently employed. During our initial session, we'll delve into the reasons that led you to seek therapy and then determine the best methods to facilitate your progress. With CBT, we'll examine the impact of your thoughts on your emotions and overall experience. Throughout the treatment process, I'll guide you in challenging these thoughts.
